riiight, the NCAA hates LSU too, just like ESPN and the SEC offices. Don't you understand how utterly ridiculous this is?


If they play favorites with your rivals, what’s the difference?

Don’t care about ESPN, but the SEC has shown favoritism to some of our closest rivals.

And? Fulton passed his test too and attempted to use someone else's, but did not.

What is the difference here?

Do NCAA rules cover criminal conduct? I did not think so. But I could be wrong.



Absolutely. 

Penn State settlement with NCAA 

I think that it has more to do with the program issue though rather than individual player issues.



I think the consensus was that the NCAA overstepped.

The Penn State case was unprecedented for the NCAA. For one thing, it applied nebulous clauses in the NCAA constitution to a criminal matter only loosely tied to athletics. Furthermore, president Mark Emmert and his executive board bypassed the regular infractions process to levy their own penalties. As testimony and internal e-mails later revealed, Emmert threatened Penn State with the dreaded Death Penalty, then negotiated a consent decree in which the school agreed to a four-year bowl ban, massive scholarship cuts and the vacating of 13 years of victories under Paterno.

Marsh, who would not comment specifically about the situation at Baylor, thinks the NCAA is unlikely to meddle in criminal matters again given the price it subsequently paid in lawyers’ fees. In January 2015, following several unfavorable rulings, the NCAA repealed what remained of those sanctions to settle a lawsuit filed by two Pennsylvania politicians over the legality of the consent decree

So can Fulton use T.Brown’s previous ruling as a case for having his suspension reduced? Was this a school sponsored test or NCAA sponsored test?

Clearly this is ridiculous. Now had he been involved in criminal activity, I would have very little sympathy. But, the very same gentlemen, that ruled on his very case, probably have been intoxicated a few times. From the sounds of it, they may have been inebriated while ruling. His whole career is in jeopardy due to a test in which he PASSED.

Sounds like the NCAA, which has no oversight, is doing what the hell they want. There should actually be an outside mediation on matters like this, especially when the potential livelihood of his family is resting on this decision.

Meanwhile, the gentleman who was his partner in crime, is off starting at BAMA. Messed up.

do you know how intellectually dishonest this recounting of what happened is?

of course not, the big bad NCAA probably planted the fake pee on him, right?
